We crossed over into Spain 🇪🇸 It felt strange that there wasn’t some kind of fanfare to mark the crossing into a whole new country but just a small sign and a few restaurants along the road.
Spain is a new country for us, never been and not really sure what to expect. Neither of us have any real clue how we will communicate as Spanish isn’t even a language we covered at all in school. The roads definitely aren’t as good so far and the Spanish people seem to be much more aggressive driving around the steep bumpy roads. The first place we tried to get to was along a very damaged and potholey single track road and when we arrived at our destination it just didn’t feel right. We moved a little further along but still not quite happy with the vibe of the place we decided to move on and find somewhere else.
Eventually after a long drive we randomly came across a car park and decided to stop and stretch our legs. We had a lovely walk that took us across a shallow river by way of some large boulders that acted as stepping stones. Thankful not to have fallen in we continued on to find a very pretty abandoned house surrounded by wild flowers 🌺 of such varieties. These old abandoned stone houses and villages are everywhere and really make you wonder about the history of them and the forgotten past of the people who once lived there. We moved to a more secluded park up just along the road next to a small lake to spend the night. Today has been an epic day, we’ve made more memories in this one day than we could have done for a year at home which in itself makes it all worthwhile.
We spent a lot of time and a lot of our money building Ivy so that we could do this in an off the grid way. Not using campsites, being surrounded by nature instead of people, commercial buildings and traffic noise. Absolutely the best decision we’ve ever made, as I sit here soaking up the peace and quiet in the sun I am so grateful to have had this opportunity, and so glad that I didn’t chicken out (as I have on occasion felt like doing. ) This is truly the happiest time of our lives.Read more
